There's a couple of parts missing from your list. Add
Rear track rod bushing/bearing
and steering related components:
tie rods
center link
steering damper
Idler arm bushing

Ball joint replacement can be found here:

You can also find a lot of info in the on line shop manuals and the archives.

Why do you have to totally remove the spring? I took it out then had a bear of a time putting it back in. When I realized I could have just compressed it and left it in there.
What kind of spring compressor do you have?

As far as tools Autozone's ball joint pres works fine for free. And there are spring compressors available in the tool rental program.
